     The Lords & Ladies of Congress are exempt from the sorry bill they are thrusting us under. "Representatives" indeed!!!

    Poll: Huge majority doesn't want Dems' health care bill
    jatfla
    by jatfla  11-6-2009   
     But do they care?? I have never seen such a push & shove match going on. This isn't about health care for our citizens. This is about power & control.

     So glad to see Corzine go. He made his fortune on Wall Street and then received buddy Obama who sought/seeks to, hypocritically, undermine it. May the chickens come home to roost.

     And the MANDATORY phase-out begins in 2012!!! I am shocked!! These people are putting us back into the Dark Ages in more ways than one. Is there no end to this madness??

    Montana: Stimulus Funds Go to Study Volcanoes, Periodontal Disease, Shakespeare
    jatfla
    by jatfla  10-9-2009   
     Nothing, coming from Washington associated with our tax money, will surprise me anymore. I guess this is someone's idea of helping the unemployed and getting our economy back on track.

    Pew: Plurality opposes ObamaCare proposals by 13 points
    jatfla
    by jatfla  10-8-2009   
     And who is listening?? Apparently not many in Congress because they keep pushing the plan through. So much for a representative form of government. Health Care reform....yes. This plan...no! So many egos are on the line that they don't care what the people think.

    Congress' Secret Plan to Pass Obamacare - CONFIRMED
    jatfla
    by jatfla  10-8-2009    5
     What Country am I living in now? I never would have dreamed we would go downhill so quickly. These people are not representing us....they are completely ignoring the will of the majority for their own personal politics. This is a democracy no longer. We are being ruled by arrogant and devious thugs. They can not be stopped! Wait til this takes on human reality...for you & me...and then see what happens.

    Gallup: Congressional approval drops sharply
    jatfla
    by jatfla  10-7-2009   
     As well it should! I really hope that there's a huge change in the upcoming elections. It's easy to understand why Washington wanted to take control of "free speech" on talk radio and of bloggers.

     Amazing how the process of implementing laws that control the lives of every American has devolved into purely signing a blank check.

    Poll: Lowest support yet for healthcare
    jatfla
    by jatfla  9-28-2009   
     We all know this. As more of the population becomes aware of this bill the more opposed to it they became. I'm convinced that's why the Stimulus and Clunkers Bill went so quickly. Speed...while they're unsuspecting. Suddenly, people have became more informed & suspicious. Suddenly the people realized they were being duped with all that verbal hype that means nothing. Slow & steady wins the race. Reform is necessary, but this needs to be seriously vetted and studied with cognizance of what the long-term effects will be. Is there no one in Congress who will commit themselves to this most vital issue that effects (affects) soooooo many Americans for decades to come?

    At Least 6 Federal Laws & Regulations Violated By the NEA Conference Call
    jatfla
    by jatfla  9-22-2009   
     And today the WH called the call "inappropriate". I guess that's what they now call illegal activities performed by the Administration and/or Congress. "Any failure by the Congress of the United States to initiate a full-scale investigation must be considered action designed to enable the misuse of taxpayer funds in violation of federal law." Indeed.

    Obama on ACORN...
    jatfla
    by jatfla  9-20-2009   
     And just exactly what is he "following"? This organization helped get him elected. The current President will spend the next 3 1/2 yrs. telling us that he knows nothing about innumerable things....including foreign & domestic affairs...which are his primary Presidential responsibilities. ACORN is thoroughly corrupt. Now how does he extricate himself from them?

    by jatfla  9-13-2009   
     So....will we be reimbursed for those hours that no one is working? 6 terms is way too many and very much a part of the problems in Congress. The senile and sick never retire.

     More should have "walked" because the speech was a waste of time since everyone knew what he was going to say anyway. Time better spent reading bills or reading to his kids.

    by jatfla  9-9-2009   
     Hypocrite!! Stimulus, bail-outs, clunkers, healthcare, etc....Zero accountability. These politicians are completely destroying our economy while many will try to blame this on the past Administration. How much money has this Congress printed in the last 7 months?? I despise them all.

     Addressing Norm Dicks-D, Sixth Congressional District, Washington. I bet these Congress people will be glad to get back to their bubbles in Washington D.C. and not have to deal with the *real people* whom they supposedly represent.

    Pelosi will let Rangel hold post despite latest allegations
    jatfla
    by jatfla  9-2-2009   
     FTA: There is also the danger of alienating members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), a large bloc of liberals in the Democratic Caucus. Many of them take pride in the fact that one of their members sits atop Ways and Means. Pelosi: Jan. 2006 ""It is long past time for the Congress to address the systemic Republican culture of corruption that has undermined the American people's confidence in this institution," Pelosi said. "I am proud that some of the best minds in our Caucus will be leading the Democratic effort to clean up the corrupt Republican Congress. These great leaders will work to restore truth and trust to the People's House." Hypocrite.

     Who are these people?? This woman is crazy. More propaganda insisting that if we don't like and don't want Obama's programs/policies, we're racists and hate black people. Isn't this a subtle form of intimidation and even blackmail? She goes on to further discredit herself by telling us that Castro is a 'genius'!!! Are there any sane people in Congress?

     Now I ask you, would you forget these kinds of assets? As someone suggested it must be dementia and so it's time for end-of-life counseling. Is there an honest man in politics?

     More 'hope & change' possible. In Congress since 1965 and 80 yrs old?? Please, there comes a time. Thurmond should have had the grace to leave decades sooner than he did....as should Byrd and Kennedy

    54% Say Passing No Healthcare Reform Better Than Passing Cong'l Plan
    jatfla
    by jatfla  8-15-2009    3
     I agree there needs to be some reform but something this massive and personal shouldn't be done in a matter of mere months. And Americans have every reason to be skeptical about this Congress.

    Rasmussen poll: Toomey crushing Specter, Sestak
    jatfla
    by jatfla  8-13-2009   
     I'm not sure I'd call it "crushing" but I'm encouraged. After that *display* at his health care townhall meeting it's hard to believe he has any support. The poor man seems pitifully senile; but then there are a lot of those in Congress.

    Don't need leaders who just can't be bothered to read..
    jatfla
    by jatfla  7-29-2009   
     We have elected to represent us the lowest form of Americans. At least Conyers said flat-out what we all believed anyway. These entitled elitists are foisting on us (as LAW) things they don't even know about and frankly, isn't important because (as the article says) it won't apply to them. They spend their days at 'luncheons', traveling, making idiotic speeches that are as empty and superficial as their own sense of leadership and accomplishments. Americans....please don't let the likes of this man continue with his arrogant, lazy, pompous crafting of policies that will effect our future and every detail of our daily lives.

    House to consider resolution demanding Obama apologize to Crowley
    jatfla
    by jatfla  7-25-2009    15
     Oh please. While I believe the officer acted appropriately and the President regrets his words, this is ridiculous. Surely there are much more pressing issues to be dealt with and resolved than to waste time on this stupid stuff. Whether Dem/Rep, this is a waste of taxpayers money when time could be better spent on more serious stuff. Or maybe they can't deal with the more serious stuff.

     So that big *Rush* got stalled when people began to understand what those in Congress were doing. "...based on quality...."? Well, duh!!! "..no surprise..."? Nice try Senator.

    Townhall Eruption: Crowd Mocks Congressman over Health Care Claim
    jatfla
    by jatfla  7-22-2009   
     I guess he didn't screen those allowed into the meeting and I bet he won't hold another for a while. I hope many others returning home for the summer recess (sigh) get a similar response...especially as it's mentioned that Congress will not be included.

    Mayo Clinic's reaction to House Tri-Committe bill
    jatfla
    by jatfla  7-20-2009   
     I sincerely hope that Congress will listen to those in the health care workplace. I'm all for some changes but the *rush* is foolish. And let's face it...what does Congress know about medicine, doctors, medical insurance, and what is best for those struggling with illnesses and the bills? No big deal for them; they are always well cared for. "..not patient focused or results oriented..." Yep! Hello elected Representatives!

     I have not met a single person who is not completely worried about this healthcare issue. No one argues that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed or altered. But the *rush* factor is very puzzling. Better to intelligently deal with one portion at a time than to throw over the entire system when parts of it are working well.

     So...is Obama to blame? Please pray for this man. He needs all the support true Americans can procure. We don't need another Daniel Pearl to remind us of our enemies ruthlessness. I hope SO are at work to gain his escape.

    Congressmen profited from inside information in the collapse?

    by jatfla  6-29-2009    1
     Amen to the last statement of the clip. I'm sick of all of them. Only within the last few years have I begun to realize how corrupted Washington (and everyone, I guess) truly is. I'll admit to being naive because I was raised to be honest...or suffer the consequences. If other high-profile names can be prosecuted and sent to prison...why not these?? And I don't care about their Party affiliation.

    Gay Duke U. Official Attempts to Sell 5-Year-Old son for Sex.
    jatfla
    by jatfla  6-29-2009    16
     The tone of the article is that there has been no media coverage of this...until now. Yes, the "director" is a homosexual and I don't believe for an instant that this is not a common practice. Daughter lives next to a family whose son has adopted a 4 yr old little girl. It's scary. But WHOEVER violates a child deserves to be outed (no matter their sex, race or orientation) and severely prosecuted. We allow liars, frauds, thieves...all manner of crooks to represent us in Congress; but in my opinion the wounding and violation of children is as low as it gets. Mandoff gets 100+ yrs. for his crimes; what do pedophiles get? Released back into the community and their names/pictures printed on the internet. :~(

    Pelosi Won't Give Public a Week to Review Text of HC Bill....

    by jatfla  6-29-2009   
     We are to accept a pig-in-a-poke from these people...the very people who are to be OUR representatives! Are any of them representing YOU? If this thing continues, our health care system is going to be sooooo screwed up that no one...not Doctors, Labs, Hospitals, Insurance Companies, etc...are going to know what to do. Complete confusion. If the bill is currently this long, with certain parts not included, and other parts to be added later, can you imagine the volumes our healthcare providers are going to have to digest? This Congress & Administration are bringing chaos.

     I thought our Country was in it's worth financial crisis since the '30s. I thought we were suppose to cut back on extravagances. All those people (the Administration, Congress & families, etc) sure are having fun with our money. (oh, I forgot, they're printing more) They all got raises and free health care coverage, pensions for life..... Talk about the haves/entitled; and then there is us.
